Economic Solution for Industrial Modbus TCP/RTU/ASCII Network Integration

PLANET has added the Industrial Modbus TCP/IP Protocol to industrial management level products to provide its easily-integrated industrial management level products with SCADA/HMI system and other data acquisition systems in factory floors. Moreover, the industrial IT SNMP network is upgraded to the industrial automation Modbus TCP/IP network. PLANET industrial management level products with the Modbus TCP/IP Protocol offer flexible network connectivity solution for industrial automation environment. To complete the industrial automation environment application solution, PLANET has announced a first industrial level 1-port RS422/485 Modbus Gateway -- IMG-110T, a bridge that converts between Modbus

TCP/IP Protocol and Modbus RTU/ASCII Protocol. It features a wide operating temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C and a compact but rugged IP30 metal housing.

Modbus TCP/IP for Modbus RTU/ASCII Network Environment Deployment

The Industrial Modbus Gateway can be a conversion bridge between the industrial equipment with the Modbus RTU/ASCII

Protocol and the administrator workstations that run the Modbus TCP/IP Protocol. The RS422/485 serial interface of the

Industrial Modbus Gateway provides the Modbus RTU/ASCII operation mode and various baud rate options to meet the demand of integration between the Modbus TCP/IP Protocol, Modbus RTU Master/Slave Protocol and Modbus ASCII

Master/Slave Protocol.

The advantage of having the Industrial Modbus Gateway is to assist users to build an industrial environment between the

Modbus TCP/IP Protocol and the Modbus RTU/ASCII Protocol easily, thus offering an application solution to the industrial control equipment without Ethernet ports and the industrial control equipment can only control through an industrial PC workstation or industrial control panel.

In addition, the effective integration solution of Modbus Ethernet devices, Modbus serial equipment or multi Modbus master / slave in an industrial hybrid network brings the following:

■ Master mode supports up to 32 slave TCP connection requests

■ Slave mode supports up to 16 TCP master connections

Remote Management

The Industrial Modbus Gateway makes the connected industrial Modbus RTU/ASCII equipment become IP-based facilities and is able to connect to the Modbus TCP/IP network via its R422/485 serial interface and 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 Ethernet port. It provides a remote web management and telnet Interface for efficient remote network management. The Industrial

Modbus Gateway also provides PLANET Modbus Gateway utility tool and supports PLANET Smart Discovery utility to help network administrator to easily get the current IP subnet address information or change the IP subnet address setting of the

Industrial Modbus Gateway.

Modbus Serial Port State Monitoring

The Industrial Modbus Gateway shows the details of the total bytes transmitted and received on the RS422/485 serial interface, and the detailed total number of frames transmitted and received on the remote web/telnet management interface.

This function allows network administrator to check the status and statistics of the Industrial Modbus Gateway via the single

RS422/485 serial interface.

It is a simple method to check out fault in serial communication; it has 4 types:

Even/Odd/Mark/Space.

Flow control is determined by product hardware. For some reason, it cannot communicate. When communication is blocked, open the flow control to ease. Flow control allows the data receiving device to notify the data sending device when it is unable to receive the data, so that it can be stopped. It includes XON/XOFF,DTR/DSR,

and RTS/CTS.

Work mode is determined by product hardware. When the product is RS485 serial port, it will display RS-485. When the product is the RS232 interface, it will display RS-232.

Figure 4-6: Modbus Parameters Screen


Modbus Setting

Initial Delay

Modbus TCP

Exception

This function due to the Modbus from the machine device initialization time is relatively long. In order to avoid before these devices are not initialized, the request is sent to the frame access, so the Industrial Modbus Gateway sets the initialization delay time to decide the time delay of the first request that can be sent.

This parameter is used to display the Modbus TCP exception in the Modbus monitoring software. Once the parameter is enabled, the Industrial Modbus Gateway sends a

Modbus TCP exception to the Modbus monitoring software.

Response Timeout & Interval Timeout

• Port

• Response Timeout

(10-120000ms)

Indicates the TCP/ProCOM and Port1.

The Modbus is a master and slave protocol; the master station equipment accesses the slave station equipment which needs a response timeout; the time is the gateway device response time.

This parameter is found in the second and third steps in the diagram below. The gateway equipment forwards the request information of the master station to the slave station, and if there is no reply message from the slave station equipment in the response time, the gateway equipment sends out the timeout response information to the master station. The available range is 10-120000ms.

-50-


•

Inter-character

Timeout

(0ms,10-500ms)

• Inter-frame Delay

(0ms,10-500ms)

In a single frame, the time difference is between a single character and the next character. When the value is 0, the default is 3.5T time, which is equal to 3.5 characters.

The available range is 10-500ms.

The current RTU response with the next RTU request is between the time intervals. The default is 0ms. This feature is to avoid the RTU request from the station equipment. Set the time interval to facilitate the RTU from the station equipment that has adequate time to handle the request. The available range is 10-500ms.

Button


-51-


4.5.2 Slave ID

The Modbus protocol provides a unique ID number (1 ~ 247) to all of the slave devices. The ID number is used to identify the address of the slave device to respond to requests from the master device. The Modbus equipment ID number is set by the manufacturers. Most of them can be modified. It is an actual ID number.

Virtual ID is used to specify the ID Modbus of each connected gateway. When the Modbus master device accesses the virtual

ID, the gateway device converts the virtual ID address into the actual ID address. When the Modbus slave device responds to the master device, the gateway device will convert the actual ID address to the virtual ID address. For the Modbus master, it only needs to access the "virtual" ID. The conversion between the virtual ID and the actual ID is called ID mapping. The

Gateway device achieves the function of ID mapping by setting the ID range and ID offset. Only the channel type in the slave mode of the channel can be set up, including the Slave ASCII, Slave RTU and Slave TCP. Virtual ID + ID Offset = Real ID

(Actual ID).

This function allows setting the value for slave ID configuration. Press the “Add” and “Submit” buttons to set the value and the screen in Figure 4-7 appears.
